🔄 Return & Refund Policy

At baristaemporium.com/, we want you to be completely satisfied with your new espresso machine. This policy details your right to return products and receive a refund or exchange.

1. ⏱️ 30-Day Right of Withdrawal

We offer all customers a generous 30-day window for the Right of Withdrawal (sometimes known as the cooling-off period) on all products.

• Policy Duration: The return period begins on the day of delivery of your espresso machine.

• Timeframe: You have 30 calendar days from the delivery date to inform us of your decision to return the product.

2. 📦 Product Condition Requirements

To be eligible for a full refund, the returned item must meet strict condition requirements, particularly given the technical nature of our products:

• Original Condition: The espresso machine and all accessories must be returned in the original, unused condition.

• Original Packaging: The item must be returned in its original box and packaging with all protective materials, manuals, and accessories included.

• No Coffee Use: The machine must show no signs of coffee use whatsoever (no ground coffee residue, water/milk residue, or use of the boiler).

Note: If the returned item shows signs of use or damage that renders it unsaleable as new, the Company reserves the right to decline the refund.

3. 💲 Return Shipping & Fees

We believe the returns process should be hassle-free.

• Return Shipping Cost: The Company will cover the cost of the return shipping. We will provide a prepaid return shipping label and arrange for the collection of the machine.

• Restocking Fee: We do not charge any restocking fees for returns that meet the condition requirements outlined above.
